In Grade 7 history, students will examine social, political, economic, and legal changes in Canada between 1713 and 1850. They will explore the experiences and challenges of groups in Canada during this period and compare them to present-day Canadians’ experiences. Students will apply the historical inquiry process to investigate different perspectives on issues in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Canada. Students will learn about various groups in colonial Canada and how they were affected by the conflicts and changes that characterized this period. They will begin to apply the concepts of historical thinking to their study of Canadian history, leading to deeper and more meaningful explorations of life in colonial Canada.
